Since beating Anaheim in back-to-back games ... the Wings have played against teams in a playoff position five times, going 0-3-2 -- The Hockey News

A week ago, the Detroit Red Wings were eighth in the Western
Conference standings and 15th in MLive.com's weekly NHL Power
Rankings.

Today, nothing has changed.

The Red Wings (20-15-7) are tied for eighth with Columbus in
the West entering tonight's game in Calgary and they're once again No. 15 in
our NHL Power Rankings after going 1-0-2 to earn four of a possible six points since our last entry.

The Red Wings best showing this week is once again with
NHL.com, which has them 12th. That was a bump from 13th last week. Nobody else moved the Red Wings up this week.

At the opposite end, CBSSports.com has
dropped them two spots to No. 18.

The top three teams in this week's MLive.com NHL Power
Rankings are Chicago, Pittsburgh and Montreal.

Here's how the Red Wings stack up:

• The Hockey News: 16th, down from 13th.
The skinny: "Since beating Anaheim in back-to-back games in
late March, the Wings have played against teams in a playoff position five
times, going 0-3-2."

• TSN.ca: 16th,
same as last week. The skinny: "The Wings
have two regulation wins in the last nine, but they're resilient enough to not
give up their playoff spot quietly, with the 3-0 win over Nashville Sunday
putting them back into eighth in the West."

• ESPN.com: 14th, same as last week. The skinny: "The Red Wings get three out of four points over
the weekend and sit two points out of fifth, but also just two points out of
the danger zone."

• NHL.com: 12th, up from 13th. The
skinny: "hey snapped a three-game losing streak Sunday
to reclaim the No. 8 spot in the West. They head to Calgary and Vancouver in a
restful upcoming week, but finish the season with four games in six nights."

• Philly.com: 14th, same as last week. The skinny:
"The Red Wings struggled again this week, logging
two losses. They hold the eighth seed right now. If Pavel Datsyuk can rally the
team, they may just make it to the playoffs this season."

• New York Post: 17th,
down from 15th. The skinny: "With their 21-season playoff streak on
the line, Detroit hopped back into eighth place in the West with a 3-0 win over
Nashville on Sunday night."

• CBSSports.com: 18th, down from 16th.
The skinny: "It's hard to overstate how big that win in
Nashville was on Sunday. The Wings were going the wrong way fast having lost
three in a row and six of eight but the win gets them back on track and keeps
the pressure on the pack."
